I've read that when inhaled, isopropyl alcohol can be harmful to your respiratory system among other things. In how much time does the alcohol evaporate? sorry for double posting

@lucastufumaste Hi. I give it 24 hours. In some states you cannot get anything but denatured or Isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl evaporates cleanly leaving nothing behind. Inhaling it is bad... so dry your atties well.

[lucastufumaste]

This is very helpful, although I still have one doubt which is if I let it dry over night will all the alcohol have evaporated? And is there any other method of speeding up the drying process that you suggest? Such as using compressed air after the cleaning process? Much appreciated.

@lucastufumaste A hair dyer on high should should dry it in less than 15 minutes.

Has anyone tried with cartomizers? Does the alcohol evaporate or does it just sit in the carto?

[cozzcon]

@ManicMaurice I have tried it with the older style boge/bauway cartos. To be safe I let them dry for a week in an airflow. It did work. Although I only did this with two of them, I'm not a big carto user. Your experiece may be different.

I really like your video, but it is so dark, Its difficult to see. I've cleaned the components (like the charger and the end that gets screwed into the cig part), and it really helped. Will try this, but I don't think I can get anything better than 70% isopropyl alcohol. Thanks for the info!

iso is safe, it evaporates overnight or instantly... buy 99 percent though, not 74 percent or whatever..it is cheap and it works....it will work 50 times better if you heat it up a little first on the stove not microwave, you will kill yourself if you use microwave lol......i am very well rounded with this stuff, i have been cleaning my glass pipes with it for years.. it has a smell after it dries but it will come off wwith a rinse in hot water

@FlashyRock1 In Germany I bought 4 litres via eBay cheap... I guess you could get it there in the US too...

Thanks for this vid, very helpful! One question:

I only had 99.9% Iso-Alc... Is there any reasons against using that instead of a lesser percentage?`

Also, in your experience: How long will an Atty really last if you keep it clean? I'm a new ecig user (GGTS SS), so knowing this will help me greatly in deciding how many Atties to buy to be on the safe side...

@FlashyRock1 I think you can get them from those stores which they call "pharmacies." I think that's what they call them.
